Schools in Residence
Funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, QUAD’s Schools in Residence programme enables pupils in formal education settings in Derby, particularly those experiencing systemic inequality or disadvantage, to thrive through participating in creative workshops. Artists and photographers joined the schools and delivered sessions for children and young people ages 8-18 at Pear Tree Community Junior School, St Martins School & Horizons Sixth Form and Derby Moor Academy. Students explored the theme of Conflict using traditional and digital photography and mixed media techniques.

Contrasting View by Helen Jackson
Using various photography, film making and editing apps on the ipad, 15 Year 6 Peartree Junior students were invited to explore their surroundings and really look at objects in a different way, comparing different (conflicting) surfaces, textures and tones. Artist Helen Jackson joined the students for a series of workshops, each week focusing on a new method and process.
